Galileo III

Why?Because if Eliot Spitzer can start over, so can Roberto.

Roberto Donna’s troubles with the law have left D.C.’s famous Italian chef owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes and penalties. Call him irrepressible. Call him lucky. Call him whatever you want, but Donna’s back in business with the resurrection of his once-proud flagship restaurant, now called Galileo III. Located in the old Butterfield 9 space, GIII boasts the same kind of old-world formality as the original. It’s also not a cheap eat; the tasting menu starts at $55 for three courses and soars from there. But once you bite into his black taglierini pasta with butter poached Maine lobster, you may forgive Donna for everything. Even things he didn’t do.
